eighty four, Christina, who won Best New Artist at the Grammys.
Was it big Country, culture Club, Rhythmics, men without Hats,
musical Youth.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, let me stop for one second. She would hate
all four of those first acts. Yeah, she might like
musical Youth because they were like British reggae kids. You'll

their big song.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I think culture club?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Hell yeah, tie the game out two. Well, now you

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Christina through the tough part if you asked me. Because
we're going about to get into more modern territory, we're
more closer to her age. Skin to the finals are next,
They are next.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know who's always down for a little Ben and
Skin Grammy game action. Franklin, Frankel, Mark Scott and Jean Love.
That game segment right here is brought to you by
Rollertown Beer Works right there in Frisco, Texas on Main Street.
That's the brewery that Ben and I are partners and
along with some other great folks. Here's some of the
things that are happening at Rollertown. How about a think

(05:42):
and Drink Tuesday Trivia night up there in the Logger Hall.
It's free to play, fun to win, legendary to brag about.
And on top of that, we do five dollars wine
every Tuesday night at Rollertown. We talked about that we
have fresh local beer. We also have cocktails and wine,
so we have a little something for everybody there and
non alcoholic drinks as well. Also, Wednesdays Rollertown Karaoke, So

the category. And it was very interesting to me because
how many times do the Grammys you get it right?
You have a category of all these music artists, and

flames out or someone who wasn't you know, the dopest
of them all. Right, Christina tied the game at two, though,

band of all time, history of all time.

guys in the band was dating Lena Dunham.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Oh really, I thought Paula. I thought Jack Ansonov was
dating here for a while, right, it was he in
the band.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think he produced him. Somebody that was in Fun
was dating because when they were winning all their awards,
they would cut her in the stage or in the stands.

Quit yelling at me. I'll never forget the time. KT
got on the elevator and James Blunt was standing right there,
very angry that he did not win the Best Best
New Artist. KT looked him dead in his eye and

(15:36):
he said, just.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Letting you know, starting tomorrow, start coming into work with
the mindset of a champion.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
And that got him over the hump to become the
forgotten about artist that he is today. Uh, are you
